I'm pretty sure that is the site I went to for my divorce. It was a reasonable price, and REALLY easy.


Especially if you're both in agreement, it will ask you all the questions and will mail you all the documents you need to serve him with the divorce, and tells you what steps you need to make with the court and everything.


I had no idea what I was doing either, and it made it really easy for me.|||I got my divorce in Texas.





You can go to the public library and they have books that tell you how, and in the book there is a CD with the papers on it, and you just print them from the CD. Or they're right there in the book itsself and you photo copy them out of the book.





You can file them at the courthouse.


Call before-hand to ask what part of the courthouse to take your papers to.





My ex and I agreed on the terms of the divorce, so he filed the papers in May and the divorce was final in August.|||Well that is great that you both have already settled everything, it sure makes it easier.


You can use a document prep site, they'll prepare the forms for you then you'll file and serve them. Pretty simple and low cost.
